On my 18th birthday I got to see Opeth live. The show was sold out and my Mom went to the venue during sound check earlier in the day and tried to get my albums signed. Martin Mendez and Peter Lindgren asked if we were coming to the show and obviously we weren't because it was sold out. Later that day my Mom blows me away with the best news. They put us on the guest list. I was at the show and Opeth gave me the best gift to commemorate my transition into adulthood. It was incredible. During the show, they were about to play the last song of the set and there was a moment of complete silence between the songs and I screamed out 'Demon Of The Fall', to which the crowd gave a thunderous bellow of approval. They played the last song and stepped off stage for a few minutes. The crowd, without any rest cried out for an encore. The crowd was beginning to show signs of fatigue when finally they came back on stage. Low and behold; my night was complete as they finished the show with 'Demon Of The Fall'. After that, I spent over an hour on their tour bus talking with Peter and Martin. It was a perfect birthday. That was 17 years ago.

Go back to opeth more often! it's great you are enjoying the songs that have built my metal taste

Lotus Eater!!

April Ethereal from this album was the 1st heavy song (and the second in general) that got me into Opeth.

This is the third time I've gone through your playlist of Opeth reactions! It's so much fun to watch you both go through the journey of discovery with this band. It's a mind blowing ride and I'm glad you're enjoying it so far. Your fans are recommending the best of Opeth and it's just fantastic! When I first was introduced to this band it really ruined a lot of other bands for me for a long long time.

Yeah I agree with that last line lol. Also it’s very easy to recommend great Opeth songs because they are a great band. Especially since almost everything they have done is from Opeth’s prime yrs from MAYH-Ghost Reveries with their best lineup

You guys need to do them more often! I'm not kidding when I say EVERY SINGLE SONG off this album is phenomenal, I would like to see you guys do more songs off their first albums like this one. Forest of October, The Night And The Silent Water, and April Ethereal, those should be included in your next poll as each is from one of their first 3 albums. But, that's just my 2 cents.

You need to do Wreath next. It's one of my favourite Opeth songs. By the Pain I see In Others is also really good. Anything off of Damnation is also awesome. You should also check out some of their newer stuff. Folklore, Cusp of Eternity, River, Sorceress, The Seventh Sojourn, A Fleeting Glance, Spring MCMLXXIV, and anything off of In Cauda Venenum you should react to at some point. Opeth is a band of many sounds and genres, and they keep evolving with each album.

The look on her face at 5:44 when it hits her, is how this song hits me every time...@gettingopeth

This song is the part of the story where the ghost, the main character, is abandoned by his lover and becomes an angry vengeful spirit. I think they nailed that vibe with this one.

Next track is Credence. Imposible for my not to listen to both songs together. This is porabably my second Opeth album right after Still Life. Such a masterpiece. When and The Amen Corner are bangers too.

Yes! This whole album is fucking 🔥👌 Great job guys!

Speaking of the tone on Mikael's voice. He told in an interview once that he had a cold during the recording sessions. That resulted in a very, IMO, satisfying, deep growl on the entire album. My Arms, Your Hearse is one of their best efforts, for sure.

Still so much to blow u away...keep the seatbelts for When

This song always amazes me.

Silent dance with death. Everything is lost. Torn by the arrival of Autumn. The blink of an eye, you know it's me You keep the dagger close at hand. And you saw nothing. False love turned to pure hate. The wind cried a lamentation before merging with the grey. Demon of the fall. Gasping for another breath. She rose, screaming at closed doors. Seductive faint mist forging through the cracks in the wall. I shant resist. In tears for all of eternity. She turned around and faced me for the first time. Run away, run away. Just one second, and I was left with nothing. Her fragrance still pulsating through damp air. That day came to an end. And she had lost in me, her CREDENCE.

Do 'The Amen Corner' next from this album. Very underrated song!

@@XTyrannicalX oh, they're great albums for sure, but outside of a few tracks, they don't hit as hard for me as Blackwater Park-Watershed. To be fair, that has more to do with the mixing than the music itself, they're still good albums and I prefer them to any of the post-Heritage stuff, with the possible exception of Sorceress. Come to think of it, mixing is also the main thing that pulls Sorceress down, so I am being kind of a hypocrite on that one.

Opeth is probably my favourite band (if you put a gun to my head and forced me to choose one) and yeah, I agree with this assessment. Still Life is when Opeth really found their sound and produced a true masterpiece, it's close to perfection from beginning to end. The previous albums are all excellent in their own right but they aren't quite on the same level.

MAYH, the album that got me into Opeth sooo many years ago. Funny how I still remember where it was and who played it for me, I tend to have a very lousy memory. After getting this album myself so I really could listen to it, Opeth quickly became my favourite band and still remain in the top spot.

Y'all may like Enslaved, basically the Opeth of black metal and absolutely legendary. Try: Singular, Roots of the Mountain, Night Sight, Reflection, As Fire Swept Clean the Earth Edit: oh and Ihsahn, who Mikael has collaborated with. He's on the track Unhealer. Though I would also recommend Frozen Lakes on Mars, Celestial Violence, and The Barren Lands. Contaminate Me by Leprous (ft. Ihsahn) is also fucking incendiary, you two would love it.

As an Opeth fan throughout all of their discography I would recommend hessian peel, beneath the mire, and The apostle in triumph...I highly doubt you would be disappointed

WOOT!!!!!!!

In 2007, the first time I ever saw Opeth live here in Perth, Australia, the power for the lights in the venue went out for a good 10 minutes just before the encore which was this song - Mikael and co were on stage with working amps and shit, they asked, should we continue anyway? We all screamed YEAH!!! They did! They played *Demon of the Fall* in complete darkness!!! It was so good!!!! 0:39 - that is backwards, so reverse that into and it is a live version of this song's intro!

Haha I think Dylan was expecting some blasting riff again after that acoustic outro. It continues to the intro of Credence, another good track by opeth

Opeth is incredible! Just... amazing band!

Lotus Eater next, for sure!

Demon of the fall. My favorite of all times . Simply the best on MAYH

This was the first opeth album I ever heard. I remember getting done with band practice (bass in a metal band) and thinking, there's no reason to play anymore, this everything I've ever wanted to hear and I didn't even know I wanted it.

Still a lot to hear from this band, bye the pain i see in others, moonlapse vertigo, beneath the mire, funeral portrait, nectar, all damnation album, wreath, when, face of Melinda, sorceress, un cauda, funeral pyre, and the lives, wich are outstanding dude.... 🤘🤘 This band has been my favourite from all f** time.

my fav track of this LP (along with "april ethereal" and "karma" ) / how about trying the "other side" of Opeth with songs like "burden" or "isolation years" ( Mikael sounds just like Roland Orzabal of Tears For Fears on the chorus ) , beautiful melodies have no secrets either for these guys

When I heard 'mosh pit hug', I pictured a wall of death but running at the person at the other end to hug rather than to mosh.

Great 👍

For the angelic side of Mikael’s voice, check out “Benighted” off their 1999 masterpiece album, Still Life (my favorite Opeth album). His voice in this song is silky smooth.

THE best Opeth song IMO.

If you have played or written music you can tell where things are going to go even with the musical geniuses that are tool you can learn their tendencies, opeth write in such a way that multiple directions would work equally that is the genius. The calibre of composition is astounding to the extent of being unpredictable no matter if you have a strong understanding of music, that is why many musicians love them, they can surprise even those who have studied songwriting.

This was so good. Now it's time for Porcupine Tree. Time flies live will blow you away. I also think the time is ripe for Steven Wilson. Try Luminol live in Mexico 😉
